Forward and Reverse filtering a List field

[Bob Sneidar]

Use 2 variables, one to hold the original data, and one to filter and then display. Each time the filter needs to be updated, put theTableData1 into theTableData2, then filter theTableData2 and set the dgText of group myDataGrid to theTableData2.
